Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

What Families Say
“My husband just passed away, and this was our first experience in our family of dealing with a cremation company. I had no idea what to expect. I have dealt with Restland several times, however. From the beginning sales person we met with, we were only treated very well by everyone we dealt with. We felt the pricing was good and signed the contract about 4 years ago. When the time came, the excellent treatment continued. Their representative, Chelsea Meckel, walked with me through each step through completion. She explained everything to me and led me to the next step. The gentleman that delivered the remains to me was very polite, and I knew we had made the right choice. Our whole experience was excellent. The cost was most reasonable. My family will repeat this with me when my time comes. I feel confident it will go well also. I highly recommend them.”

“My Dad chose Smart Cremation for his arrangements before he passed. He was very prepared. He already paid for everything so I didn't have to pay for it. It really helps when you are in mourning to be prepared like he was. The people at Smart Cremation were very nice and helpful and kept me updated on my Dad's cremation. I would definitely recommend Smart Cremation to everyone.”
— Melanie
“I was pleased with the presentation, especially with Pam. She was professional, compassionate and explained in detail how everything works, they do everything, it is a no worry program. and a fantastic price for what is offered. Anyone looking for Cremation services should look into this company, they are top notch, and so are their representatives. Don't put it off, so it now and lock in your price for life. You won't find better.”
